Records set in DAY/SEA contest today...









Today's game between the Dayton Musicmen and the Seattle Reign produced three new current season records.

1) Most shots in a game by one team: DAY with 73...

2) Most shots in a period by one team: DAY with 37...

3) Most saves by a goaltender in one game: SEA's Corey Crawford with 67 saves out of 73 chances...

DAY's Tyler Seguin led the barrage with 14 shots on goal and Dan Hamhuis was the only Musicman to not register at least one shot on the Reign's Corey Crawford.

There were no injuries in today's game that would've contributed to the high number of shots by Dayton, nor was there an unusual number of power play opportunities for the Musicmen as they had just three, all two minutes in duration. Seattle killed all three shorthanded situations they faced.

While press reports found no late-night activities from any Musicmen celebrating New year's Eve in Dayton, there are several unconfirmed reports that GM Cam McCurdy took his team out to the big party in downtown Dayton and danced the night away. Not known previously as much of a dancer, there are multiple reports that McCurdy did a highly suggestive dance to "Wrecking Ball" when the DJ fired that tune up for the large crowd, with some estimates putting the oversized gathering for Dayton in the dozens of people.

According the Dayton Police Department there were no arrests and no fatalities.

Unconfirmed reports from the clubhouse staff working the Seattle room for the game described several of the players and coaches as looking "rough" when they arrived for the morning contest.When asked about his team's readiness for a game against the CCHL's top team, McCurdy said, "I never knew you could have so much fun in Dayton Ohio of all places. On the other hand, I must say I'm not real happy with (Dayton GM Bill) Corfield. We'd asked him to move the start time back a few hours and he literally laughed in my face. "Yeah, he just looked at me kind of funny and said, "No Cam...we're not moving the start time of today's game...See you boys at 8:00am..."

Seattle is a little more civilized than apparently Dayton Ohio is and we certainly would've accomodated them if they asked for a little flexibility in the game time.
